Buprenorphine is utilized in what is known as medication assisted treatment (MAT) for individuals in Hugo who are opiate dependent to prescription pain killers or heroin. Dissimilar to Methadone which is also used in medication assisted treatment but is usually only dispensed in highly structured clinics, Buprenorphine can be prescribed and administered by qualifying doctors which gives easier access to this type of opiate treatment.
When Buprenorphine is administered in recovery it can help someone who is experiencing the intense cravings and withdrawal symptoms brought on by opiate withdrawal. Buprenorphine helps to manage and diminish these withdrawal symptoms so that the person can stay off drugs as well as not participate in typical drug seeking behaviors. When the medication assisted treatment concept was first formed and perpetuated, it wasn't meant to be a primary form of treatment but rather only part of a multi-faceted treatment plan that would also incorporate actual rehabilitation for opioid dependency and addiction recovery. Buprenorphine use would only be one component of a larger all-encompassing recovery plan.
Buprenorphine will also produce the euphoric "high" associated with other opiates so it is sometimes abused. This is another reason it is important for anyone choosing medication assisted treatment as the treatment route they prefer to take, to also receive help from addiction counselors to incorporate other types of substance abuse therapy & counseling and self-help actions into their course of treatment to ensure they are not at risk of relapse.
